Electric Wasteland
David Siegel Bernstein
I stare at the television with vacant eyes
and witness a nation’s
creative ideas subverted;
interesting themes perverted;
radical minds sterilized
for viewing pleasure.
A population in media confusion
allow mechanical maniacal leaders
to lead us and bleed us
by wars marketed in a blue rhapsody of vengeance
for sins yet to be delivered.
Desired change,
purchased from shame,
washed bare
by tear soaked dreams
and May sweeps.
